Glasgow prepare to move up a gear as cup beckons

WHAT a difference a fortnight makes. Fourteen days ago, Glasgow were riding high, unbeaten in the Celtic League, and Llanelli had just conceded 38 points to Edinburgh. Nobody was kidding on that today’s visit to Stradey Park would be easy, but at least they could view it with a measure of confidence.

Since then, Glasgow have lost twice, Llanelli have put 60 points on Swansea, their derby rivals, in a bad-tempered, card-strewn match. The Scots have lost players to injury, the Welsh have been able to welcome back the likes of Scott Quinnell.
